butter production
Cream to solid
Butter production is the process of making butter from cream or milk, typically by churning to separate butterfat from buttermilk.
On an industrial scale, this involves pasteurization, aging, and mechanical churning in large vats, while traditional methods use hand-churned or paddle-operated devices.
The term appears in agricultural and economic contexts discussing dairy output: Global butter production has increased steadily over the past decade.
